Your team suspects that a company wireless network experiences overlap with other nearby networks. After collecting data with a wireless scanning utility, you see multiple networks broadcasting on the same frequencies. Which step helps reduce collisions and enhance reliability?
Require a sign-in prompt for all wireless access
Lower the beacon interval to reduce management traffic
Choose frequencies identified as less crowded by the scanning utility
Selecting a frequency with less contention is the most effective way to minimize collisions. Lowering the beacon interval does not eliminate overlapping signals. Hiding the broadcast name only reduces visibility. Adding a sign-in method restricts access but does not solve interference caused by shared channels.
